How to Build Search Index - TACC/Core-CMS GitHub Wiki

Site search requires an index of content available to search.

Requirements

Notice: Copied from Core-Portal/wiki: How to Build Search Index. May be overkill for a standalone CMS.

At least one page in CMS (see above).
At least 15% of free disk space.
For Mac/Windows
- At least 4GB of RAM allocated to Docker (see Docker Desktop > Preferences > Resources > Advanced).
For Linux (Locally)
- Run sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=2146999999 (The minimum required by ES is 262144 but it doesn't seem to work).
- Run sudo sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=1.
- Run sudo sysctl -p (In order to persist in /etc/sysctl.conf).

Steps

CMS

Completely shut down all of your containers and restart them.
Login to docker shell:
```
docker exec -it core_cms /bin/bash
```
Index all searchable content:
```
python manage.py rebuild_index
```

Portal

See Core-Portal/wiki: How to Build Search Index.
